One of the greatest jobbers of all time, he will be sorely missed.

[The In-Crowd]

RIP

Oh that sucks. My prayers are with his family.

So does the S.D. now mean "Soon Departed"?

[Ultimo Chocula]

I've been awake for ten minutes and already my day is ruined.

RIP SD

I just hope he's buried with his Hawaiian shirt

RIP.

That's such a shame. He was one of my favorites in the 80s. Back when they'd show the MSG or Spectrum shows on Prime Time Wrestling, SD would usually get an opponent like Tiger Chung Lee or Rene Goulet in the opening match and win a few matches here or there.

My thoughts are with the family.

[Hiroshi Hase]

Damn, he was a good prelim/jobber guy, and would even get in offense against the top guys like Savage, Funk, Adonis, etc.

RIP SD you will be missed. The jobber who actually had a fan following of any kind.

[blef]

RIP indeed.

And he just retired, too - from the one job he'd had ever since leaving the WWF.

[Mozenrath]

I'm sorry to hear that.

WWe.com has a tribute up

“Special Delivery” Jones, one of the steadiest performers ever to appear in a WWE ring, passed away on Oct. 26 in his native Antigua, West Indies; he was 63.

Jones, whose real name is Conrad Efraim, was trained in the early 1970s by WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz, and entered WWE in late 1976. His WWE tenure continued through 1986. Through that time, Jones was a competitor who always gave optimum effort in all of his matches. Many of his opponents knew that if they wanted to gain a victory over Jones, they absolutely had to dig deep to earn it.

One of the more infamous distinctions that S.D. will be remembered for was his match against King Kong Bundy at the inaugural WrestleMania in 1985. The match lasted a mere nine seconds, and although on the losing end, this match made Jones a part of WWE history for the fastest pinfall ever scored at that time.

S.D.’s last WWE appearance was in 2006, when he inducted his long-time friend and confidant Tony Atlas into WWE’s Hall of Fame.

Our condolences go out to the family and friends of Conrad Efraim, a.k.a., “Special Delivery” Jones.

Oh no. That's bad news. RIP, my prayers are with him and his family.

[Trip Fisk a.k.a. Foley is Good]

That's a real shame. RIP Special Delivery.

[NOwave]

S.D. was one of the real good guys in the business. His type doesn't exist anymore, sadly. He will not be forgotten.

[Well, Youre Wrong]

RIP S.D. Jones.

[Bob Schlapowitz]

I am going to dedicate every Special Delivery I make tomorrow to S.D.
